Seeking instructions for reversing the door swing on a Midea MRT18D3BWW top-mount refrigerator.
To reverse the door on the Midea MRT18D3BWW, you will generally need a Phillips screwdriver, a flat-head screwdriver, and a socket wrench (typically 5/16"). Follow these general steps, though specific screw locations may vary:
- Preparation: Unplug the refrigerator and remove all food and shelves from the door liners.
- Top Hinge: Remove the top hinge cover and unscrew the top hinge. Lift the freezer door off the center hinge pin.
- Center Hinge: Unscrew the center hinge. Lift the refrigerator door off the bottom hinge pin.
- Bottom Hinge: Unscrew the bottom hinge and move it to the opposite side. You may need to tilt the unit back slightly to access these screws.
- Transfer Hardware: Move the hole plugs and hinge pin bushings to the opposite sides of both the doors and the cabinet frame.
- Reassembly: Install the refrigerator door onto the new bottom hinge position, secure the center hinge on the opposite side, place the freezer door on the center hinge, and finally secure the top hinge and cover.
Note: Ensure the gaskets are sealing properly after reassembly. If the gaskets do not seal, you may need to warm them slightly with a hair dryer to help them take shape.
